Chronic dry eye is one of the most common — and most underestimated — eye conditions seen in daily practice. It occurs when your eyes don't produce enough tears, or when the tears you produce evaporate too quickly, leaving the eye surface dry, irritated, and vulnerable to damage. Finding the right chronic dry eye treatment in Dhaka can dramatically improve daily comfort and protect your long-term eye health.
Dry eye disease develops gradually and can be triggered by a combination of factors, including:
• Prolonged screen time (computers, smartphones, and tablets)
• Air conditioning, dust, and pollution common in city environments
• Ageing and hormonal changes
• Long-term contact lens use
• Certain medications, such as antihistamines and antidepressants
• Underlying conditions like meibomian gland dysfunction, blepharitis, or autoimmune disorders
Because symptoms can be mild at first, many patients delay seeking treatment. Watch for:
• A persistent gritty or burning sensation
• Redness and irritation
• Excessive tearing (a reflex response to dryness)
• Blurred vision that improves with blinking
• Sensitivity to light or wind
• Discomfort while reading, driving, or using digital screens
An accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective chronic dry eye treatment in Dhaka. At Vision Eye Hospital, our specialists assess tear film quality and quantity, evaluate the eyelid glands, and check for surface damage using slit-lamp examination and specialised dry eye diagnostic tools before recommending a treatment plan.
Treatment is tailored to the severity and underlying cause of your dry eye, and may include:
• Preservative-free artificial tears and lubricating eye drops
• Warm compress and eyelid hygiene routines to unblock oil glands
• Anti-inflammatory eye drops for moderate to severe cases
• Punctal plugs to reduce tear drainage and retain natural moisture
• Meibomian gland expression and lid margin treatment
• Lifestyle adjustments, including the 20-20-20 rule for screen use
Chronic dry eye is a manageable, long-term condition rather than a one-time problem. With a consistent treatment plan and periodic follow-up, most patients experience significant relief from irritation and are able to protect their eyes from further surface damage.
Our general ophthalmology team takes a step-by-step approach to dry eye management, starting with the least invasive options and escalating care only when needed. This ensures every patient receives a treatment plan that is both effective and appropriate for their specific condition.
